style with substance - the Bite Biosport shoe
|
As we get older and substance in golf equipment becomes more attractive than style, when it comes to shoes comfort becomes a more over-riding factor in our footwear than shape and colour.
The
Bite brand has been known for many years for its eye-catching innovation and was, perhaps, ahead of its time. Now, however, it has become widely praised for the practicality of its footwear and for the last three years has been voted the most comfortable golf shoe in the US, according to a Darrell Survey for respected magazine Golf Digest.
Its orthotically-designed range of shoes for men and women with problem feet - whether through arthritis, overweight, gout, or skin problems - have made a big impact while maintaining a sense of style in the look of the shoe.
Feet can swell and contract during a five mile walk around a golf course, causing increased pressure on certain points of the foot dependent on the condition, which is why Bite introduced its Biosport, Biolite and (new for 2007) Crobar shoes allowing golfers to customize their shoes with three interchangeable insoles.

OS1 has an extra heel cushion, metatarsal pad and toe ridge; OS2 has an extra supportive arch and deep heel cup; Ortholiner (inserted under OS1 or OS2) completes a more snug fit for a narrow foot.
Flagship shoe in the Bite performance range is the stylish Derby with its Y-Zone support system - a tripod outsole to bear the brunt of your weight, absorb stress of movement retain grip and balance.
New for women in 2007 - when Bite will introduce a competition for every purchaser (mail or female) for the chance to win 'a pair of shoes for life' - is the Ladies Inspire, a lightweight shoe in a choice of four different colours with lined mesh waterproof panels. Bite also aims to re-introduce the golf sandal - purely for fair-weather golfers who like their feet to breath!
Prices for Bite shoes range from £49.99 to £99.99.
